You may have noticed that I mentioned taxation in that last post and I didn’t qualify it by saying that it was unjust, unfair or evil. Taxation is none of those things. Taxation is how we pay for the things we need to survive as a nation. Taxation is how we pay to help one another.
And it seems quite obvious that taxes are not a burden to anyone. We are the richest nation in the world and it shows. We complain about taxes but we have plenty of money for cable TV, for cell phones and regular phone service, for high-speed internet, for latte’s, for dining out for breakfast, lunch and dinner, for SUV’s and DVD’s, on and on it goes. Take a look at what you have and what you pay for and tell me again how oppressive taxes are.
What is unjust, unfair or evil? Not taxes, but those who abuse and steal our tax money for their own agenda and not for the public good. If every tax had to pass the test of, “Is this good for all?” then we would truly be the richest nation, rich in spirit as well as in the material things.
